From Flash to HTML5

Moving Forward

You may have noticed a few changes that have been taking place on SpanishTown.ca over the last week. We have begun to transition away from using Flash and moving towards HTML5 for our Spanish language audio. The first pages to see the change are our “Counting in Spanish” pages, from 0 – 100.

More Devices

By making these changes we are opening up the site to students using Windows Phones, iPads and iPhones. The larger “tiles” also make it easier for those using touch interfaces on Windows 8 devices and iOS.

Browsers

These changes should work on any modern browser such as IE, Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Just make sure you are using a current version.

The Plan

Eventually all of our audio vocabulary pages will be moving to HTML5. It will take some time to convert all of our vocabulary (we have a lot) so be patient.
